Pygmy cormorant (Microcarbo pygmaeus)

In the past a very rare guest but this year are some here for weeks now. Not very scared, in opposite to their bigger relatives and easy to capture.

Posing so nicely, JB, and I like the composition of this portrait.

Marvelous frontal view of this pygmy. I love those webbed feet curled around the limb. Top-marks JB!

A superb portrait of the little cormorant, JB! I've only ever seen these birds in Hungary.
